patsocs are just reinventing labor Zionism but with American characteristics.

Edit: also this is a fundamental part of their identity, every one of their public faces you see is objectively an out of touch bigot who more closely caucas with open Strasserites and nazbols than they do with any workplace.

Edit 2: as far as I’m concerned, any accusation they make against any communist party in America is projection

Trust me, we’re definitely socialists. It’s even there in the name: Nationalsozialistische

Is this one of those Nazbols that I’ve heard about?

In the American context, Adam “Haz” Tahir is more like a neo-Laroucheite

Here’s a good overview of that from RevLeftRadio and Donald Parkinson, who btw namedrops Adam “Haz” Tahir when talking about these kinds of cults: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NhVKmHN1i4

Although he is more of a neo-larouchite, he has ideological overlap with nazbols in that he has interviewed and praised Dugin, one of the cofounders along with Limonov of the National Bolshevik Party (Nazbols) who were a subculture movement in Russia after the collapse of the USSR. They called themselves a party but nothing really ever came of them politically. I don’t know much about them. Their flag incorporated nazi aesthetics (the red field and white circle of the third reich flag, with the black swastika replaced by a hammer and sickle) but I’ve been told on some occasions it was just edgelord counter-cultural punk rock shock jock stuff. I don’t believe that, but I’m not going to go too in depth because I’m not Russian and haven’t done extensive research on them.

Anyway Haz is also always pushing for people to read Heidegger, an unrepentant nazi philosopher, as being “essential” to understanding Marx. Whenever Heidegger’s nazi affiliations are brought up he claims they are “irrelevant” (somehow) to his philosophy.

I’d go with classifying him as a neo-larouchite as you stated. It fits more with the American context that his reactionary thinking is rooted in.

Anybody who throws their lot in with Dugin should be at least warned and avoided if they are unable to be saved. I watched a series of videos by Derick Varn where he goes through Dugin’s writings to critique them and he points out Dugin explicitly states that he wants to recruit leftists to his 4th positionist movement. We should especially be wary of these folks trying to get their foot in the door by inserting themselves into any discussions that are had on the left about what a multipolar world would mean for the future. It seems like that’s the angle they try to hook leftists at the moment.

Heidegger is always a big red flag to me.

4th positionist

It’s really funny he calls it this because it’s just 3rd positionist with extra steps

Yes. If you still don’t know much about it, please take my serious word on this and keep it that way. Save yourself

I’ve heard about him but, never heard a word from his mouth. I usually just place him in the same box of deplorables as and Mr. Botticelli. All annoying Internet guys who have toxic fandoms.

Not so fun fact in addition to everything else said about him, he used to post here for a bit before I think he was banned which may be why he’s such a hate filled piece of shit

He may actually be the only real enemy of Hexbear who knows we exist

That checks out.

Was it the sub or here? I would have been technically paying attention to it at the time but, my memory is foggy?

Yeah it’s like, Peter Thiel exists, but he is the exception, not the rule. And he probably wouldn’t even be where he is if he wasn’t a white cis man.

They love to flash pictures of imperialist pinkwashers performatively holding a rainbow flag at a NATO conference or whatever and going “SEE SEE LGBT IS AN ELITIST THINK TANK!!!”

They think this is a very effective talking point for some reason.

My first exposure to this dipshit was when YT randomly recommended me his speech “Occupied States of America”. I thought reading the title of the speech, “Oh, is this gonna be about how the United States is built on stolen land seized by broken and coercive treaties?”, but then I listened to the speech for a while and I realized, “Yeah, this guy is just a confident orator who does not know a damn thing about what he’s talking about, fuck’im”

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
